But most of all, at this critical time, we miss his leadership. He was willing to stand against the tide of lies and duplicity in Washington and the media. Who can take his place?I feel like I not only lost Rush, but I lost a part of my grandpa, too. I used to listen to Rush in his pickup truck in Iowa with his smelly little dogs & laugh at the way Rush so easily & humorously dismissed the left’s bogus arguments. I cherish those times & all Rush gave us.

Trump "NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES" Again, As Dems Latest Impeachment Farce Ends in Tears!
Let's repeat that: NOT GUILTY. Anyone who suggests otherwise is undermining the rule of law and a threat to democracy and should be silenced by the same social media that polices what Trump supporters say! Put Swalwell on trial first along with his Chinese spy girlfriend!"The Senate judges that the respondent Donald John Trump, former president of the United States is NOT guilty as charged in the article of impeachment." - Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT).

If Questioning Election Results and Using "Fight" Rhetoric is Crime Worthy of Impeaching a FORMER President Shouldn't These Democrats Be Removed from Office?
Dems farce impeachment is a sad joke that only seeks to divide America and spread hate!
For FOUR FUCKING YEARS Democrats have questioned the legitimacy of Trump's election in 2016. They repeated lie after lie about Trump and Russian collusion which every investigation showed to be entirely baseless.
But now they are impeaching Trump again for not just questioning the election results but claiming he incited violence using "fight" rhetoric. Did they miss the violence in America's cities this past summer where black neighborhoods were destroyed in the name of social justice after Democrats whipped up the rioters and even set up a fund to bail them out of jail? Should the illegitimate Kamala Harris now be removed from office for that fund?
But if Trump must be forever banned from public life for using fight rhetoric and questioning the election what about these Democrats?

Biden The Illegitimate Launches War on American Values, Jobs, Prosperity and Energy Independenc on Day One
All the things he said he wouldn't do....
Trump bragged "promises made, promises kept." He created millions of jobs, lifted the boot of government off of small business and made America energy independent. All the things Biden is undoing.
On his first day Biden canceled the Keystone pipeline despite having been approved by the Obama energy and environmental protection departments. Now, thousands of well paid UNION workers are soon to be out of work and depressed areas where the pipeline is now being built can go back to being dependent on government handouts.
Worse than that, oil will be coming in by rail and truck from Canada which is far more hazardous to the environment and we will have to begin importing oil from the Middle East to make up any shortfall. Iran is smiling!
But put that aside for a moment if you can. The spectacle of a faux inaugural under conditions of marshall law in Washington DC is chilling. No doubt it's a warning from illegitimate Biden to how he will handle all political opposition that fails to swear fealty to him.
Biden, the weakest candidate in modern American history couldn't even mount a real campaign. There was no enthusiasm for him ANYWHERE. And so having an inaugural without the American people in attendance is more of the same.
And after four years of unrelenting opposition to Trump using every foul conspiracy theory and fake news (TRUMP RUSSIA!) we have a candidate who ONLY hobbled his demented way to office because Democrats changed the election rules in a handful of key states.
Worse still, the same conspiracy theorists who spent four years on a fake news orgy of TRUMP RUSSIA are now telling us any question of Biden's legitimacy is a conspiracy theory.
They called Trump illegitimate and a Russian spy for four years. Time to return the favor. NO UNITY with an illegitimate regime who shuts down and shouts down political dissent! They set the precendent. These are THEIR rules!
Welcome to martial law and the end of civil liberties!
No, Democrats REFUSED to allow the National Guard to stop rioting in DC this summer. REFUSED to protect Senators, Congressional Representatives and Delegates who were assaulted leaving the White House after the conclusion of the Republican Convention. But now Dems are all in for military occupation. Gestapo soon to follow!
Meanwhile, the Antifa riots continue!
I Watched Biden’s Inauguration First-Hand
Haunted and numb in a horribly sanitized city.

As I grabbed some coffee before heading to the Capitol Building to watch the 46th President of the United States of America take his title, the lovely lady behind the counter told me she had never seen anything like this in D.C. in her life.
And all I can say as I stand here now in the freezing cold with a handful of others is that I hope America never has to see anything like this again. Nothing is as it seems. It is just horrible, in every sense.
There is no one here. And I am not saying that in the weird competitive way people talk about crowd sizes as a measure of popularity. Remember the endless quarrel over the size of Trump's inauguration crowd versus Obama's?
What I mean is that there is literally no one here. Even pressed up to the gates within sight of the Capitol Building there is barely a handful of Biden supporters -- alongside a small gaggle of media, scratching about, trying to find something to film.
Residents with the means to do so have moved out. Others stay locked in their homes. And visitors heeded the fear-mongering and stayed away. I was called ‘a moron with a death wish’ for traveling here to document this event. And even though it is perfectly safe, no one is here to bear witness to this event.
This should be an historical moment for the country. Instead it feels like an illusion, fabricated for the TV, right down to the made-for-TV flags and columns of light on the mall.
Not only is the city completely abandoned by ordinary Americans, but it feels like a military garrison, courtesy of 25,000 National Guard troops, police, and Secret Service posted at every intersection. Many of them are sleeping at my hotel and I couldn’t wish for better roommates.
But their frustration is obvious. These good men and women have left their homes, families and jobs to be here, but to what end? We can all see there is no threat to be faced. Fake news is relying on repeating their footage of the riot at Capitol Hill to perpetuate the myth that this is a city under siege to domestic terror.
D.C. now feels like one giant stage built entirely for a drama of the Democrats' own creation. I’d argue the troops are being used as bit-part actors, for crowd scenes and effect. If you wanted to create the illusion that the Trump administration turned America into a war zone, what better way than to make D.C. a green zone, build ramparts and blockades, and fill it with troops, trucks, and men with weapons?
Bizarrely, even in this militarized zone, Black Lives Matter still gets a free pass.
Republicans, particularly white Republicans, are now tarnished with the label ‘domestic terrorists’ and are all policed as such. I can feel the eyes of the plainclothes officers on me as I move about in D.C. One photographs my face, then slips away.
And yet on Black Lives Matter Plaza, just a block or two from the White House, BLM protesters seem to enjoy special privileges. The entry point to this place remains relatively open and welcoming, their music system gives the place a party feel, and there are no National Guards visible here.
How did we end up at a place where Republicans and Democrats are policed differently, even inside a militarized zone?
I feel some pity for the media crews wandering around the lonely streets desperate for something to feed back to their bosses' funding of their trip. They know they have to film something, but when there is nothing, what are they supposed to do? Predictably, they resort to yet another closeup of the National Guard. It is soul-destroying stuff.
It feels numb here, like watching surgery on your own hand when you are anesthetized against the pain, but can still see the knife cutting flesh and watch your own blood flow. That’s exactly what it is like in D.C. Without people, there is no emotion. And without emotion, no one can feel anything. And just like surgery, it feels unreal.
It is emotion that makes these events matter. And there is none to be had here. This is a sterilized inauguration in a city sanitized by a garrison of troops. All you can feel is numb.
Biden stepped up to the podium, on an empty stand, addressing a mall void of life and spoke of his hopes for unity:
This is our moment of crises and challenge. And unity is the only path forward… Let’s start afresh. Let's start to listen to one another, see one another, hear one another.
I look around at all the facemasks and muted mouths. And feel my eyes roll in their sockets.
We must reject a culture in which facts are manipulated and manufactured.
I remember those suitcases of ballots being hauled out from under tables in Pennsylvania, and the statistically improbably vote dumps in the swing states, and wonder how this old man is not choking on his words.
America has to be better than this. Just look around. Here we stand in the shadow of the capitol dome. We endured. We prevailed.
I look around just as he asks us to do, and I see how barren it all is. This man is all but alone with his lies. Nothing has prevailed here, not joy, not emotion, and certainly not the will of the American people.
As I walk back to my hotel, feeling about ready to sit with the homeless man and share his cheap whisky, I meet a woman who has traveled from Texas to be here because of her love for Biden -- and because she was here four years ago for the pussy marches in which she had such a fantastic time.
She can't believe she is all alone and that the city is so deserted. Not only that, but she can't get close enough to see or hear anything. So much for Biden’s plea to ‘see each other, listen to each other, hear each other’. This poor woman has not seen another soul.
She tells me she just feels really, really disappointed.
I hug her and tell her I feel it too. Biden asked for unity. Perhaps this is it. His supporters and I are united in our disappointment.

Pelosi Embraces National Guard at Capitol. Complete Turnaround When Trump Wanted to Use Guard to Protect DC
No shame Nancy at it AGAIN!
Violent leftists heard Nancy and the Democrats call to violence. This was only part of the result. An attack on GOP convention goers at the White House. A direct threat to democracy and Democrats largely gave it a wink and a nod!The most important video of 2020

Failure to Address Election Concerns Brings "Peaceful Protest" to U.S. Capitol Building
That's more than you have ever heard from a Democrat leader in regard to Antifa or BLM! P.S. These are NOT Trump supporters. Antifa does Halloween every day of the week. Not Republicans!I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

The Same Media That Said Any Discussion of Biden Family Corruption was "Russian Disinformation" Is Now Reporting Hunter Biden is Under Investigation
Dems went to extraordinary lengths to bury Biden's corruption. It's coming out anyway and the media that hushed it up and now leading the way!
This was in October. Nothing to see here folks.
And SHAZAM two months later:More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”https://t.co/T58QhdXEJd

In Major Address Trump Outline Election Fraud and Pledges to Fight for Soul of Our Democracy and Freedom
If you haven't seen this video don't tell me there is no evidence of massive voter fraud!Statement by Donald J. Trump, The President of the United States

"On top of everything else, we have a company that’s very suspect," Trump said. "It’s name is Dominion, with the turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you could press a button for Trump and the vote goes to Biden. What kind of a system is this? We have to go to paper, maybe it takes longer. But the only secure system is paper."
"This election is about great voter fraud, fraud that has never been seen like this before," Trump said in the speech. "It’s about poll watchers who were not allowed to watch. So illegal. It’s about ballots that poured in, and nobody but a few knew where they came from. They were counted, and they weren’t for me. It’s about big leads on election night, tremendous leads, leads where I was being congratulated for a decisive easy victory. All of a sudden, by morning or a couple of days later, those leads rapidly evaporated. It’s about numbers of ballots that were sent that nobody know where they came from. It’s about machinery that was defective, machinery that was stopped during certain parts of the evening, miraculously to open with more votes."
"They know who won the election, but they refuse to say, 'You’re right.' Our country needs somebody to say, 'You’re right,'" Trump said.
"Ultimately, I am prepared to accept any accurate election result, and I hope that Joe Biden is as well," Trump added.
